Great food, Great service – I have been to Yabu on pico so many times. What I like about Yabu is their authentic dishes for reasonable prices. They have variety of foods including vegetarian dishes, so its a perfect place for families and friends. Actually I was at Yabu when this rude guy (the previous reviewer 2 below) had a big argument with the sushi chef. I don't know how that happened, but apperantly he didn't like the fish he ordered. When you order something, and if you didn't like the dish, maybe you can ask nicely t... read more
Yummy japanese comfort food.... – I have been a regular patron of Yabu for years & really enjoy the food & service. It is a casual local spot where I can dine with my family (including young children), my husband alone before a movie or with girlfriends on those few occasions where mom's get to dine together. I am someone who enjoys trying everything on a menu & have tried just about everything offered & recomend it all. My husband on the other hand is a creature of habit & has the spicy tuna don and/or udon with tempura mos... read more
inconsistent food quality and the sushi chefs lack skill – i like certain things at yabu on pico such as their sobo noodles and shrimp tempura, vegetable tempura as those dishes and a few others (lotus, black cod, etc..) are most always near spot on perfect, but overall their quality is inconsistent. it's not uncommon to order sobo and the server knowingly takes your order without mentioning they're out of quail eggs to properly make their dipping sauce or on occasion the eggplant or lotus is served with so much more oil tha... read more
Great Sushi – The boyfriend and I love Yabu. It's authentic, delicious, and most importantly isn't one of those pretentious sushi joints that charge you a fortune. You can never go wrong ordering their sashimi. It's always fresh and they always have a great selection. You're not going to find concoctions like the Philidelphia roll or things like that. They keep it basic and they really deliver. I love the the fried chicken wings served with japanese mayo and the broiled mackerel. At times I'm even tempted to order 2-3 of the... read more
A hip setting for creatively twisted, mix-and-match Japanese favorites. – In Short Wood and glass provide clean lines, bringing to mind an ancient Japanese roadhouse. Offering a wide variety of traditional dishes, the mostly a la carte menu encourages diners to mix, match and share. Appetizers include miso soup tarted up with clams and scallions, and tender miso-fried eggplant. Juicy shrimp shu mai (shrimp dumplings) come steamed in a nest of noodles. Fried meats and vegetables, donburi rice bowls, sushi combos, and noodle s... read more
Best udon and soba – This is the place in Los Angeles for Japanese udon (flower) and soba (buckweat) noodles. The Pico location is completely different from the La Cienega place, even though both are under the same ownerwhsip. The Pico location is where you go for great noodles, as well as some broiled fish and other Japanese food. Great food, good service, great food! As the restaurant is small and popular, it pays to make reservations.
Great udon and sushi – I've been here a number of times and my experiences have been more good than bad overall. Sometimes the udon isn't so great but others it's just fantastic. Their spicy squid is awesome! Their sushi's really good and I love their soba. It's not too expensive and there's a tiny lot next door--during lunch rush you may have to park futher down the street.
best tuna don – the spicy sushi don with cold soba is the best. the sushi rice is so good! udon is so-so.... the broth isn't that great.
Japanese Paradise – If you're in search of an authentic Japanese experience on the Westside, look no further than Yabu. While they focus lies on their soba and udon, their menu had continued to expand over the past few years. They boast a full sushi bar with fish among the freshest in the city, as well as a huge assortment of other Japanese dishes. There are always daily specials worth trying as well. Service is consistent as it's almost always the same group of waiters working, and the ambience is cozy yet modern. Also, the... read more
